The cross-border transfer of personal data in the face of travel bubbles forged during the pandemic and cyberattacks on the 5G network are among major cybersecurity concerns this year, says Palo Alto Networks, an American cybersecurity firm. The attempt of many countries to create travel bubbles and green lanes will amplify the data privacy debate in this year, Sean Duca, vice-president and regional chief of security for Asia Pacific and Japan at Palo Alto Networks, said at a virtual conference.
